It’s that time of the year again! I deliberately kept putting this off, because what if I read something amazing that NEEDED to be on this list? Basically I wanted to do this last week but I had yet to read The Knife of Never Letting Go and had a feeling it would be on this list.
This list is not really in any order, because choosing isĀ hard. Without further ado, my top 10!
Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
I will continue throwing this book at everyone next year, because it’s beautiful and perfect and amazing and I love it so much. I will definitely reread it soon. If you want a more detailed reason as to why I love this book so much, please read my reviewĀ or more like my fangirl rantings.
Winter by Marissa Meyer
A.k.a. the perfect ending to this wonderful series. Definitely one of my favourite endings to a series.Ā Everything came to a close, it was a perfect combination of action, humor and romance… AND SOON STARS ABOVE WILL BE OUT. Read my review hereĀ or take a look at my feels in gifs (warning: major spoilers in that one!).
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
I knew I was going to love this book, but I don’tĀ love this book. I don’t even know what my feelings for it are. Just like with Fangirl, as soon as I finished it I wanted to reread it right away. I was soĀ giddy on feels afterwards for days. If you haven’t read this yet, what are you waiting for?! Read my review here.
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
Why have I waited this long to read this? I need to go back in time and throw this book at me. I have the sequel waiting for me, but Aentee told me (more like warned haha) that while The Knife is like a stab through the heart, The Ask and the Answer only gets worse, so I’m too scared haha. I’ll soon review it!
The Last Ever After by Soman Chainani
Another great ending to a great series. I love The School for Good and Evil trilogy and boy this last book did not disappoint. The character development Agatha and Sophie went through is beautiful. Scratch that, the entire book is beautiful. Read my review here.
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
I can’t believe I only read this this year! (to be fair, it was at the beginning of the year) This is still hands down my favourite book in the series. It’s such a rollercoaster of emotions. It hurts just thinking about it. SARAH J. MAAS THIS WAS NOT OKAY. Read my review here.
The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare
Apparently I read this this year! Boy, does time fly. I thought it was last year. I didn’t love all the stories equally, but they all amused me greatly (I mean, it’s Magnus Bane, how can stories about him not amuse me?). I loved finding out more about Magnus and the people surrounding him. And you know, MALEC’S FIRST DATE. Also I really want more short stories about Magnus, Catharina and Ragnor. I want an entire book about them. Perfect Warlock Squad. Read my review here.
I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest
I just couldn’t stop reading this one. I had to put it down at some point, because I really needed my sleep, but I didn’t want to. The mystery is so good and the friendships in this book areĀ adorable. Also it’s GORGEOUS. Because comic pages. Yes please. Read my review here.
Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
While I was a bit disappointed, I still really loved it! How can I not? It’s Rick Riordan after all. I love everything he writes (well, everything I have read so far. I don’t know about his grocery shopping list. I’ll let you know once I’ve gotten my hands on that). Though I have to admit I’m more excited for The Hidden Oracle than The Hammer of Thor (guys I automatically spelled Thorne. Can you tell I love Thorne), but that’s mainly because PERCY. And I absolutely adore Apollo. Read my review here
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
I don’t even want to talk about this book that ripped my heart out, stomped on it, ripped it apart and just threw it away somewhere.
It’s beautiful read it.
Read my review here- and this is when I find out that I never reviewed it. SEE THIS IS HOW MUCH THAT BOOK BROKE ME
SPECIAL SHOUT OUT
The illustrated Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The story is not new to me of course, but the illustrations are breathtaking. I still need to do a post on it, but expect it soon! (hopefully)
